Greetings and Salutations!
WOW!
Weather changed and the ole hands crinkled and wrinkled up like witches claws! The ‘thritis kicked my ass over the past couple of days, hence not typing at all. The VA gave me a bunch of different ‘things’ to take but none of them seem to work (Big Pharma right?) sao I just sort of set back and dealt with it.
Then I had 2 days of a really sore throat, like I’d gargled broken glass. I know where that came from. When I went down to GunGirl’s store to pick up my lower, there was this really gross hacking-and-wheezing FAT (and when I call someone fat… man this guy made me look fucking positively svelte!) anyways… fat motherfucker was hackin’ and being all gross…
I figured to stay away from him…
But NOOOOOOOOOO
When I sat at the little table she’s got set up to fill out the 4473, this monstrosity plopped down right next to me… and not to fill out a form but b/c it was the only other chair available I guess…
SO I ended up with just a touch of whatever nastiness he was handing out… Go figure. I’m feeling better now… It just hurts if I gab too much.
Then… let’s see… LOTS going on out in the world. The Niggerian Christian thing? OrangeManBad making heap big smoke about it? No worries IMO… I’d call it performative. We –might– drop a bomb or two but I’d say this was more of a public warning than anything else. Lat year the US supplied a combined (military and humanitarian aid) of about 
$876 million in aid to Niggeria. (and yes, intentional misspelling).
I think this was a warning to the current crop of Kleptocrats there to start actually using some of the $$$ we’ve been supplying or we’ll drop a few bombs, declare victory, and cut off the $$$ faucet. “Start doing something or we will.” It looks good to the base of Christians who support the Orange Retard.
Then: The Krain.
Whooo boy. Ivan is on a tear over there.
LOTS of territory gained in the opening of the Rasputitsia.
And a couple of ‘strange things’ that happened recently… specifically how a group of GRU Krainian Special Forces guys got wasted on a really strange mission…
On November 1st it was announced that, earlier in the week, late at night two Krainian UH-60A Black Hawk helicopters in the northwest of Pokrovsk, were videoed arriving at extremely low altitude. According to multiple sources, The objective was supposedly to assist with a break through the Russian encirclement of the highway to Grishino.
This pic was given out on November 1st by the Krainians. It was taken by the other UH-60. Some say it was leaked, but either way… it doesn’t matter as according to ALL sources the 11 or 12 man team was smoked within hours of landing. ALL of them were KIA or wounded so badly as to be as good as dead, thanks to Thermal Drones that seeked them out and smoked them.
The problem with this ‘supposed mission’ and why I call bullshit?
There were only 11/12 guys sent. (Actual numbers are sketchy)
There’s only 10 visible in the pic, fanning out the way we were taught to do back int he day… which also raises some questions…
This was not even a full team.
This was like a light squad at best.
A wee bit light on the firepower to ‘open up’ an encirclement wouldn’t you say? An encirclement that’s hundreds of kilometers in the overall scheme of things, filled with hundreds, if not thousands of Russkies coming in for the kill?
(H/T Simplicius)
Now… there are other oddities about this mission… which calls into question the actual mission, and such. I have a few theories. The BIG One is that I think this was supposed to be an evacuation of Higher Ranking NATO folks. They sent two birds and ALL of the guys who put boots on the ground were on the first and only bird to land.
So why have an empty bird with them?
Not gun support… that’s for sure.
They would have had a HIND.
Plus: Where they landed?
(again H/T Simplicius)
That’s a wee bit too far west to do any good regarding breaking the encirclement or even the highway.
But, if you notice, it IS very close to a small holdout area of Pokrovsk… Which makes me think this’s very much like what they tried to do back a year or two ago at the Azovstal steel plant siege in Mariupol in 2022. Then the ‘Krainian Special Forces’ attempted to evacuate some Command and Control NATO personnel supposedly. The attempt was foiled then as this one was now… The reason I use quotes is that even then, the troops who went in after the fact were suspected of being US or NATO troops… and after that failure… well…
Lets just say I found it suspicious that an AUstralian General and his staff died in a small aircraft accident in the Outback within a month or so… and that a US General died somewhere around the same time…
Never mind the various Special OPs kids… Navy SEALs ‘drowning’ during training or MARSOC Recon guys dying in Helo accidents during “training”…
I’m watching now to see if anyone comes up on the ‘BINGO’ board from out team(s) as the reason I suspect US or NATO Troops use and fuckery?
The footage of the dismount is purely US ingrained Air Assault tactics… then, the way the team split up… My understanding is as soon as the Blackhawks left, the Drones went hunting… which means they could be heard. The Krainians, having tons of experience with drones know to completely spread out and get deep undercover. The videos I’ve seen of these teams?
They scattered, but stayed with their battle buddies.
Like US Troops are taught.
Experienced Krainian SF troops would have boltered in multiple directions. Usually individually. If only to allow the others to continue the mission. Instead they reacted (IMO) like noobz. Clustered, and didn’t make use of any of the ‘stuff’ that even the normal Krainian troops do when night drones start prowling, like stop moving and cover up with thermal-proof covers and shells…
Then, after some getting trapped in a Gas Station, three of them got hit with multiple drones until they were obviously eliminated. The reason I say obviously was the pieces parts of the last drone sent in was a giveaway. I mean they were scattered and splattered per the vid I saw on telegram.
My thoughts are they went in and were supposed to rendezvous and extract a group of NATO/US/Brit ‘advisors’ and got hemmed up by landing smack-dab in the middle of “Drone Central”. And since #ourguys don’t have like any IRL experience being hunted by drones, they didn’t know how to react, and paid the price.
I mean why else would a single 11/12 man team be inserted? They sure as Hell are not going to ‘re-open’ any sort of encirclement. What’s more? Pokrovsk has acted as the logistical hub and rear operations base for Ukraine’s eastern defensive lines. It sits astride both a key railroad juncture and the highway to Ukraine’s fourth-largest metro, Dnipro.
Which means it probably has a significant Command and Control presence. And C&C in this war for the most part has ALL be run by on-the-site- NATO or US Occifers… so my wild ass guess? Someone important got hemmed up behind enemy lines and needed their balls pulled out of the fire again…
Meh
I know… just guessing but I mean why else send in 2 x birds, and only one team? A light team no less. It does show that they’re getting desperate again to use up some of their best troops for whatever the reason actually was…
Then here on the home front?

All’s Quiet on the EBT Front
Interesting that.
Not sure if it’s good news or bad news.
Meh
This weekend however I have some interesting news. I got an email from GOVX which is a group that gets you ‘supposedly great deals’ on tickets and flights and vaykays and whatnot… This one caught my eye. A cruise this coming weekend that was “free”…
Now we all know that there’s no such thing as a free lunch BUT I went to see. Turns out that yep. The room itself is a feebie. The only thing I needed to pay were the tax/port fees, which came out to $240.
So this weekend I’m off to Nassau I guess…
Why not?
The reviews are either “Loved it!” or “Hated it!”
Guess I’ll have to find out for myself. At least a Chimpout might happen and THAT would be some great blog-fodder right? There will be no blogging however as the add-on to get the WiFi is filed under ‘retardedly expensive’ so any and all Shaniquannigans will have to wait until I’m back.
And yeah yeah yeah… I AM packing in the ‘living’ right now as it may be a “Avē Imperātor, moritūrī tē salūtant” sort of time in the near future, so I’m going to not waste a moment… I mean why the fuck worry so much as to cower in the corner worrying about “what ifs?” I mean every. man’s. time. will. come.
I’m going to enjoy what time I have here in this realm on Whammenz Wine and Song… to do otherwise would be lame.
Maybe I’ll do a rifle raffle to raise money for my drinks on board? They tend to get pricey AF fast. Heck… if I raise enough I’ll be able to get the WiFi? I did end up with an extra AR after all… What say you?
So More Later

If you thought the diseased fat guy in the gun shop gross, you are in for a treat on that ocean going disease factory.
Couldn’t get me on a cruise ship for a million bucks, fuck that noise. The prospect has zero appeal to me whatsoever. Between the nasty, unhealthy sea cows and rampant dievershitty, along with being captive while underway, no way, no how would I ever do it. I like solitude (and if I vacation, the venue will be chosen with that criteria in mind), not being packed in like a human sardine amongst NPC’s on greyhound of the sea.
Besides, all the amenities of a cruise are available on land: dining, entertainment, casinos, pools and water parks (and all but decent dining don’t really interest me anyway). Clearly, I just don’t get what people who enjoy cruises are getting out of it. And that’s fine with me.
Despite my own personal distaste, I’ll bid BCE bon voyage and happy sailing. Hope you enjoy it, because one may as well get what pleasure they can out of life now. The future sure ain’t what to used to be.

Norovirus anyone?

Sounds like a set up to me. Aint no such thing as free.
They charge $$$ for booze.
Try Low Dose Naltrexone for your arthritis and general pain.
I never knew how much aches and pain that I had until they went away after starting this. Skip’s Pharmacy (will need a prescription) in Florida is one of the better compounding pharmacies out there for making this up. 4.5mg seems to be the standard dose.
DMSO is also good for pain relief.
A round of ivermectin to clean out any bugs would not hurt either
Anon
Be cautious with the DMSO. Absolutely don’t do the hardware store hack, that DMSO isn’t to the purity you want, and that goes into the second thing — DMSO opens up your skin to be a permeable membrane. You have to treat any skin application as an open wound for the next 6-8 hours. If you are good with that, a lot of people find it effective. Anything in the DMSO will be carried deep into your flesh (so no hardware store grade.) When you hear about some spook touching someone and dosing them, I’ve heard that it’s something like Scopolamine in a DMSO carrier.
Appreciate your institutional knowledge on US vs Krain mannerisms. Reminds me of how my wife can pick me out of a crowd by my gait before anything else. That second helo is absolutely a tell. They don’t have the resources to waste on a second helo without a reason. We might send one as insurance, but they are way past insurance. My first thought was a backpack nuke to blame on the Russians, but that was never the right spot for that plan. That was an extraction.
Heard nothing but awful about margaritaville cruises. I think that if you go into it expecting a shitshow adventure, then you are OK with the spectacle of the shitshow, and if it’s nice it’s a pleasant surprise. I get cranky and snobby way too easy, so I’m staying away. Wife and I are planning to celebrate a big anniversary in a few years with a trip to Normandy and Brittany, and taking the QM2 back. THAT is the kind of cruise I want — quiet with a dress code. Nothing makes me happier than me getting my cruise, and the people who hate dress codes and quiet having their own cruise that I can enjoy by description.
Had a comment on my general impression of cruises, but it either went to mod, or got shitcanned. Had a comment do the very same at Art Sido’s place earlier today. Guess I must’ve officially made the shit list of TPTB, and am having my ramblings suppressed. Oh well, I probably ought to find better things to do with my time. Like BC said, grab what enjoyment you can now, it looks to be in short supply going forward.
Ok, looks like it finally showed up. Go figure.
A cruise ship? Shit man I don’t even get on an elevator anymore – I use the stairs.
Just being a smartass – have a good time. And looking forward to some after action reports.
Hmpfffff.
You and Bracken are great but yer both readin too many scarey comic books. Ivan’s drones are primarily surveillance machines and the odd antimateriel weapons. He still does the bulk of his dirty work with artillery. But we’ve had those squabbles before.
A point of order: your special ops guys – if I understand them correctly – live in DARPA’s back pocket. They have access to toys that make James Bond jealous. They’ve been playing with top tier drones for at least 20 years. If they were Americans on a high priority extraction I’d bet dollars to donuts they’d have the spoofing technologies to counter the drones.
Hrrrrmmmmm….
And It’s no secret to anyone that Uncle Sam has his hand up the Ukranian puppet’s ass, and that the Tribe in turn, has its collective hand up Uncle Sam’s butt. I can’t see the Ukes squandering and risking resources like these to safeguard against the revelation of what is basically an open secret.
Let me open another avenue of speculation?
What are the Blob’s biggest concerns in the Kraine right now? I would posit two things:
a. Complete collapse of the chains of command as the military implodes. Mass surrender, the exhausted Uke military is disarmed and taken prisoner.
b. The military mutinies after years of abuse and mistreatment – and a revolution starts. The Ukranian Blob is beheaded and the country falls in orbit with the Russians.
Could it have been a frag mission? The Ukes going out to smoke some troublesome malcontents? That theory stinks too; if so – why the other chopper? Maybe they wanted to capture the malcontents? No, that reeks too: the Ukes and Russians are Slavs. They’d just shoot the troublemakers.
Something is definitely afoot, though, and I think it ties in with the two potential failure modes I brought up.
Glen, we SAW the the drone vids. You are living in the past regarding their capabilities.
I saw them too. And I know what you think you saw. The problem I have is that you can either trust your own eyes and a 15 second video – or listen to me talk (for at least an hour) about the realities of scan cycles, frame rates, telemetry and solid state gyros and all the other things that make tiny attack drones a non-issue on the battlefield. For me it is akin to watching liberals pontificate about the benefits of gun control. All they need slogans, repetition and emotion – and they’re good to go. Reasoned debate bounces right off them because critical thinking and detail is punishment for them. Believing something is far easier than knowing something.
Not trying to be a dink…I catch myself doing it too. Everyone does.
I’m basing my opinions on large part on Patrick Lancaster’s long-form YouTube stuff, and the Russians certainly don’t see it your way. They have gotten really good at dealing with the swarms, but it is a full time job for them that requires detailing half of their trigger pullers to that job.

Thanks for the clear,honest appraisal. I don’t know what to make of it yet but, information is always good. Observation turns it into intelligence (potentially). Again,much appreciated.
BCE, I think you are dead on about your Kraine analysis.
Guaranfuckingteed there will be some plane and chopper crashes and training accidents.
That was a US or Brit squad that got smoked because they don’t know shit about anti drone tactics.
Regarding cruises, my wife & I love cruises and just got back a week ago from a Panama Canal cruise on Princess (we loved it). The line matters a lot. Princess, Celebrity and Holland are older crowds with great food and service but a little more expensive. There are “minorities” but they are older, have jobs and behave like everyone else — no problems.
Royal and Norwegian are the middle class of cruises. HUGE ships with tons of activities, pretty good food and a younger crowd. Affordable, you’ll have a good time and their security teams don’t put up with shit.
Carnival = party boat and pretty cheap. TONS of “muh diversity” who act the fool and act ghetto.
Carnival massively cracking down on that shit but beware.
Margaritaville = old boat, dirt cheap fare, party atmosphere.
If you want a cheap quick cruise to the Bahamas and drink a lot and hook up with some tattoo’d women who like biker gangs, that’s the cruise for you. Just be careful because many of the ghetto folks who sailed on Carnival have migrated to this cruise line.
You’re a big dude so most people won’t bother you. Just behave and if your bad juju sense goes off leave and hang out in your cabin for a bit.
Have fun but if possible it’d be good to have a wingman with you. See if Sapper could go because the rooms have 2 bunks and you could share a room pretty cheaply.
any day on the water is a good day
Even better day if you’re fishing.
Larry Johnson figures it for CIA paramilitary officers. GUR missions, 2 missions in 3 days.

Then the proper response would be a Tomahawk delivering a HE payload directed to the last known coordinates of the Agency clowns. If they stayed past the due date it’s on them. It’s the life we signed up for. Death before dishonor, with anything big enough to die taken to Valhalla.
Sic Gloria Transit
sounds like you had the newest form of covid…
Cruise ships are like going yachting with a thousand of your closest friends. Is that the one going out of Port of Palm Beach? You’ll love the neighborhood on the main road outside the port, pure ghetto. Riviera Beach to the north, West Palm Beach to the south. Let me know if that’s the one. I’m not too far away, maybe we can meet for a meal on your return.
i was in N. Palm ever hear of Old Port Cove?
Yep. Docked there once, years ago. Also stayed in NPB while the yacht I worked on was in Rybovich shipyard for 5 months. Fucking cracks in the keel plate.
Enjoy the trip, Tiny!
We went to Nassau on our honeymoon, and then won a free cruise for one, so all we had to do was buy 1 ticket & we went back for our first anniversary. If you rent a scooter (I’d recommend it), pay attention to the big sticker on the handlebars, and KEEP LEFT!
No way I could do that ship, though. We went in 1995 and ’96, each time on an old (circa 1955, Dolphin Cruise Lines) ship that had retired from Med cruises. Total passenger capacity was maybe 500-600. Not all the wild amenities, but also not all the crowds.
Enjoy yourself! As the kids say, YOLO!
As far as the krain goes, I really wish Putin would do something that made it undeniable for international recognition that he runs that show now, and the coalition of the globalist cocksuckers could take a giant public kick in the scrote over the whole thing. Something needs to bust the hold they have over Western policy, and that outcome (slinking away in defeat like a little bitch, as was done with Afghanistan) would be highly preferable to getting nuked. Although if DC got nuked, I’d not shed a tear. In fact, I’d send a sincere thank you note to Mr. Putin thanking him for the much needed cleanup job.
What I can’t really pencil out is why Russia is still holding back. At one point I thought maybe they were trying to avoid collateral damage to civilians and infrastructure (that Russia would later have to pay to rebuild in those areas they took by military action). Now I’m unsure. They appear to have stepped up the level of destruction (if anything I read online can be trusted) but they certainly haven’t been gung ho in aiming for a decisive victory.
Is Russia actually delivering the maximum effort they’re presently capable of already, or is there some strategic reason for not staging spectacular large scale attacks to hurry up and force the rest of the world to see and accept what looks to be an inevitable conclusion. Is it just as simple as not wanting to be seen as the big bully (which western governments pretty well universally portray Russia as already)? What’s the point? As I lack military background, I don’t have the benefit of knowing how strategic thinking operates from the inside, so am left mostly with wild ass guesses.
They are happily watching us use up military assets in personnel and materiel, and go utterly broke doing it. Also, consider the politics on the ground: perhaps Mr. P’ s goal is to instill a strong distaste for the Juden who run things in the Kraine, ala what happened in Weimar.
Russia also really really doesn’t WANT to incorporate Ukraine into Russia and have to deal with internal strife and terrorist attacks backed by MI6 and the CIA for years.
The idiots in London and Washington (especially that Neocon idiot Gen Kellog) say “see, the Russians are weak…. why they haven’t taken that much territory”.
The truth is this is a straight up war of attrition. Right now the Ukrainians are losing around 1000 troops a week and Russia about 100. That will accelerate as the Russians are on the move and Ukrainian troops are cut off and are killed or surrender. Zelensky and his gang refuse to negotiate and will fight until the last drop of Ukrainian blood. Then they’ll flee to their hidy hole mansions they’ve bought all over the globe.
Meanwhile most of the Ukrainian little hats flew out before the war started and are coming back after.
They think they can buy everything up for pennies on the dollar and have their pick of the hot young Ukrainian women since all of the Ukrainian men are dead or disabled.
That’s their plan but Putin and the Russians know this and have other plans. We shall see what happens but I don’t give Ukraine 6 months top to survive as is. There will either be a coup or a collapse.
Daobaz is correct
The Russian style of war has generally been conservative and attritional… big arrows like Kursk in WWII are odd and would only happen in certain circumstances. They want to grind you down and then destroy you systematically. The produce cauldrons and then close them and that takes time.
The other point is that Putin is the most moderate and restrained option we have – everyone else who could replace him are far more hard-line. The Russian PM would have used nukes by now! Any thoughts that “liberal” could replace him is laughable and ignores the last 4 decades of Russian history.
See the Crimean War, Napoleonic War, WWI, etc. Napoleon is the most egregious example: the Russians let them get over extended and then lest distance, fatigue, and weather do most of the fighting for them – then they very aggressively pushed them back. It’s is far from a 1:1 example but it does illustrate the core mindset. One can reasonably argue that much of that is because of the Grand Armeé’s superiority but, that is far from the only reason they got as far as they did.
I can see all that, and understand the war of attrition, which has been going on for an longtime now. Just wondering when (or if) Putin de ides to land the final, fatal blow. Or if he just keeps grinding until Ukraine clapses outright. In guess the latter is the safe bet. Regardless, at some point the Western Powers propping the place up are going to have to make an open admission that it’s a loss. Sure,they’ll try to deny it and dissemble in the languages of their official statements on the matter, but the outcome will be obvious.
The stated goal is to utterly destroy the Ukrainian military. A slow unrelenting grind is the best way to do that.
Empting our arsenals, depots, and coffees is a bonus.
The sad part is that I don’t think it was planned that way. It is clear that the were going for surprise big arrow moves (which makes for an opening offensive) in the begining and that Kiev was about to surrender before Johnson arrived and told Z that the West would keep the bullets and coke flowing. After that happened and the mass flow of material and merc from the west started flowing they changed to their traditional roll and the goals changed to what you see today.
We might see an anticlimactic collapse with Russia rolling west largely opposed.
That said the big arrow hammer blows are what will get the western leaders’ attention
Yeah cruise ships. Well stockpile plenty of bottled water in your room and a tarp. So if the engine goes kaput all the toilets back up then the piss and shit start overflowing all over the floor. You have to get on deck. The tarp is so you can camp out on deck. Yes this had happened before.
As for the Ukraine chopper rescue. Well Kelly found that they were hiding pallets of gold bars at a certain Ukrainian bank so he convinced pilot Oddball and crew to take him to said bank. The empty chopper was for all the gold bars.
I’d love for Putin to parade all the scientists out one by one and they would have to give their name and what crazy bio weapon they were working on. Televise that live. “ I’m Dr. Igor Kreshenko. For the last seven years I’ve been paid by NATO to manufacture Covid 19 virus and Avian Flu virus.”
Can you imagine that. The hundreds of Scientists and staff forced to tell what they were doing and who paid them to do it.
Ding dong said, “Well stockpile plenty of bottled water in your room.”
And I agree but fill some of them with clear vodka. Reseal as needed to conceal the deed. You’ll need to bootleg some booze in to negate the piracy of their liquor prices.
When you get that scratchy throat you gotta wash it with a little whiskey. Or gargle peroxide/salt water is also helpful. On the boat thing- if my tin foil hat wasn’t in the laundry then I’d say be careful of what countries that boat is supposed to sail to… Personally stranger danger or not, you couldn’t drag me onto one of those things but hey if you want to sell a rifle raffle ticket I might be game.
Double tap the comment above about Covid. The three times I had it (twice after the “vaccination”, lol) a really bad sore throat was the telling symptom, plus all the rest…aches, fever, etc. I like your analysis of the UKR air assault thing. I watched some videos and could not figure out why they did that. It looked (to me) that the LZ was under observation by drones and I was frankly surprised that the helos were not taken out. Here is a wild card…maybe they were not going in to exfil embarrassments that should not have been there, maybe they were going after “stuff”… “Kelly’s Heroes” style, but without Clint Eastwood and Oddball with his Shermans. I figure it may or may not come out in the future, but it sure looked dumb.

Hmmmm, it seems the conversation has moved to a new post, but screw it, I’m late to the party.
I say it’s cool as fuck that you’re blazing a path for yourself post contract negations. In regards, to your qoute “Avē Imperātor, moritūrī tē salūtant”…it reminds me a bit of Brian Johnson.

Your Kraine scenario might explain the 2 sandcopters sent by Carter for the embassy hostages in 1979 – he never intended to get them out. We could never figure that one, 2 birds hiding in a sandstorm.
