Putin Recognizes Donbass Republics, Sends Russian Military to 'Denazify' Ukraine

Putin addressed the Wagner rebellion at the Valdai discussion. He even took a share of responsibility for what happened. He wasn't specifically asked about the rebellion, he volunteered the information to those gathered. I jotted these down on the fly, so some of the meaning may be lost:

- the rebellion was unfortunate, but now Russia knows how to deal with such groups a little better
- there was no legal status for PMCs in Russia, and all talk of Wagner being a 'PMC' is a Western designation imported onto a very nebulous and confused structure
- Wagner was internally divided, with its own rich leadership and poor followers
- the Russian state paid in cash and did not guarantee social support, (which may have lead to a feeling of uncertainty that can be exploited?)
- Putin is unsure as to what the future of 'PMC's of Russia might be, but a legal framework is a must
- fragments of a grenade found in the bodies of the dead of the Wagner leadership, indicating internal explosion and not an outside attack
- bodies were not tested for drugs or alcohol, but 10 billion rubles and 5 kg of cocaine found in Wagner's office by investigators
 
This fight is our fight,” Clinton claimed, adding that she fails to understand how any Americans can “side” with Putin. “But we have seen it, and we have heard it, and we have to fight against it,” she declared"
Mind you, the war harpy herself is saying that we have to fight against Americans who "side" with Putin.. that is, anyone who disagrees with her position on anything.

fragments of a grenade found in the bodies of the dead of the Wagner leadership, indicating internal explosion and not an outside attack
It doesn't make much sense in light of what's been known (if true) so far.

Interior grenade explosion, with its fragments found in the passengers' bodies, must have taken place in the aircraft fuselage, I guess. With fuselage damage and possibly sudden decompression (depending on the damage). I just cannot see how that would compute with broken off wing and the fuselage more or less intact on the ground after the crash.

Two possibilities I can think of:
- either the grenade fragments have been sitting in the bodies for a long time, from earlier battles and injuries, and they are preparing a sabotage/ treachery conclusion and perhaps testing how this narrative is received; or
- the videos of the falling plane were fake; the early official reports of the wing and the back of the plane found in two other locations both far away from the crash site, and the fuselage being only slightly damaged - were all lies.

(FWIW!) In the TG/blogosphere, the dominating theory, based on leaks and inside knowledge (real or made up), is explosives placed in the chassis compartment, most likely in the Moscow airport's airdock where the jet was undergoing some minor repairs. Allegedly, despite all airport security measures, there were two visits to the airdock shortly before the fatal flight. And it's been pretty consistent thorough the whole time.
 
I am surprised by the approach of the West. Now everyone is talking with one voice about whether Zelensky will go to negotiations with Russia, as if this is some kind of serious problem. He will go to negotiations, and if he does not go, then he will run, and if he does not run, then he will crawl, and if he does not go, does not run and does not crawl, then someone else will do it instead of him in due time. At the same time, almost no one, except maybe Ritter and McGregor, discusses the topic, and why the hell is Russia needs these negotiations in the existing conditions? Probably this is what C's has already been mentioned many times as "wishful thinking" .
Very serious. In Britain, they were horrified because of the disaster in Ukraine
Sky: Zelensky will compromise with Russia because of the failure of negotiations with the West


MOSCOW, Oct 7 — RIA Novosti. Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky has failed to secure sufficient funding from allies and sooner or later will be forced to compromise with Russia, Sky News writes.

"The situation is developing in such a way that the question arises whether we are talking about the beginning of the end for Ukraine," the publication says.

The article notes that the need to provide military and financial assistance to Kiev has become a very serious burden for Western countries, which are already facing high inflation.

"The focus of attention of the Western electorate is now inexorably shifting to internal problems," the author writes.

In his opinion, if Ukraine failed to make progress this summer, when it could be considered to be ready for battle as well as possible, then further military support from the West will result only in a protracted, costly conflict with virtually no progress.

At the end of last week, the US Congress agreed on a temporary budget, without including financial support for Ukraine. In addition, last Saturday, September 30, the law on lend-lease for the Armed Forces expired.

Earlier, the website of the Chicago Council on Global Affairs published the results of a survey, according to which almost half of Americans admitted that the assistance provided to the Kiev authorities in the amount of $ 43 billion was not worth the costs. In addition, the number of respondents advocating economic support for Ukraine has decreased compared to last year.
Очень серьезно. В Британии ужаснулись из-за катастрофы на Украине

Меня удивляет подход Запада. Сейчас все в один голос рассуждают о том пойдет ли Зеленский на переговоры с Россией, как будто это какая то серьезная проблема. Он пойдет на переговоры, а если не пойдет, то побежит, а если не побежит, то поползет, а если не пойдет, не побежит и не поползет, то это сделает кто то другой вместо него в свое время. При этом почти никто, кроме может быть Риттера и МакГрегора не рассуждает на тему, а на кой черт России эти переговоры в существующих условиях? Наверное в этом выражается уже много раз упомянутое C's "wishful thinking".
 
Alrighty then! 👍

Russian President Vladimir Putin delivered a speech on October 5 at the plenary session of the 20th meeting of the Valdai International Discussion Club in Sochi and emphasized the tectonic and irreversible shifts taking place in the global order.

According to Putin, globalists including Schwab and his close advisors are “legitimate military targets” because they have been actively attempting to seize power illegally via a globalist coup d’etat.

Putin Warns ‘Globalist Terrorist’ Klaus Schwab His ‘Days Are Numbered’


President Vladimir Putin argued today that Moscow ‘s mission is to create a ‘new world’, blaming Western hegemony for starting the war in Ukraine in a ranting anti-US speech. ‘We did not start the so-called war in Ukraine. On the contrary – we are trying to finish it,’ Putin said during the Valdai political forum in the Black Sea resort of Sochi. ‘We are tasked, essentially, with building a new world,’ he added. Putin said that no one in the world in their right mind would use nuclear weapons against Russia, and that potential enemies knew about the nation’s nuclear arsenal.


It's going to be Russia's version of Build Back Better! :-D

thank you very much for this summary. we must learn to condensate what we read: there is so much going on and our time is limited...

Agreed. It doesn't make much sense for the owner of the plane to immediately flee the country if was just an 'unfortunate accident'.

In the TG/blogosphere, the dominating theory, based on leaks and inside knowledge (real or made up), is explosives placed in the chassis compartment, most likely in the Moscow airport's airdock where the jet was undergoing some minor repairs.

This seems a lot more likely, imo. Keit's post here is looking rather prescient:

Other cases investigated by Ivan Sibul also have a feel of "needing to find guilty and close the case". You can read about the others in this article.

He could be the perfect person to handle an investigation that would require careful crafting of the facts for the public consumption.
 
Well, all this was clear to normal people, but to corrupt UN officials, as they say in our country: piss in the eyes-everything is God's dew.
Zakharova considered Budanov's words on the NPP a "cold shower" for the UN

For the UN representatives, who previously stated that they could not determine who was responsible for the shelling of the NPP, the recognition of the head of GUR Budanov in three attempts to attack the station would be a "cold shower," Zakharova said.

The recognition of the head of the GUR of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine Kirill Budanov about the unsuccessful attempts of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to seize the Zaporozhye NPP should be a "cold shower" for UN representatives, who have repeatedly stated that "they cannot determine the direction of the strike on the station." This was stated by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova in the telegram channel.

"Budanov's confession should bring out of hypnotic sleep the population of NATO countries, who were inspired by the NATO regimes that Russia was creating threats to nuclear facilities and threatening to use nuclear weapons," she added.

According to Zakharova, the Russian Foreign Ministry has repeatedly stated that Kiev uses the NPP as a "dirty nuclear weapon" and blackmails Europeans with it, and also provided data on the shelling of the station from Ukraine.

Budanov said in an interview with NV that the special forces of the GUR made three attempts to seize the Zaporozhye NPP. All these attacks were repulsed by the Russian military.

Budanov said that in August 2022, the Ukrainian military crossed the Kakhovka reservoir on high-speed boats to create a springboard for seizing the NPP, but later they were forced to retreat. After that, two more attempts were made to land on the left bank of the Dnieper.

Several hundred people, including mercenaries, participated in one of these operations. During the third attempt of the AFU to land troops, Russian forces brought heavy equipment to the shore, so the Ukrainian special forces retreated.
Захарова сочла слова Буданова по ЗАЭС «холодным душем» для ООН

Ну нормальным людям все это и так было понятно, а продажным ооновским чиновникам, как у нас говорят: ссы в глаза-всё божья роса.
 
Avdiivka is the closest to Donetsk and the most fortified area of the AFU positions. From the very beginning of SMO, the Russian forces have not been able to do anything with it yet. Maybe now it will be possible to dig out the ukies?
Hundreds of howitzer shells, MLRS and aerial bombs hit the AFU positions near Avdiivka (PHOTO)

Hundreds of howitzer shells, MLRS and aerial bombs from 5 am hit enemy positions in the area of Avdiivka.

The Russian army is conducting an operation near the capital of the DPR. The horizon is covered with black smoke from strong fires, enemy positions and objects are burning.

Reconnaissance drones and combat aircraft are operating in the sky.

Several AFU batteries that shelled Donetsk have already been destroyed.
