Omfall B – active defense against Russia.

We have at times gone through different scenarios for Russian escalation, but now it is time for Europe to find its inner Viking.

The background is that Europe’s leaders all received a copy of Putin’s speech from Munich 2007 and a thorough briefing from the military security services regarding the capability enhancement that China has begun for Russia’s benefit.

Then the military security services continued to reveal how little our own defense forces had learned from Ukraine’s sacrifices after three years.

And finally, they played a film “best of Hitler” on the wall with a projector.

It wasn’t easy, but eventually Europe’s leaders understood that Russia would just move on to the next country in line until it stopped, and that even if they cared nothing about the Baltics or Poland, France and Germany are behind them, which are themselves.

Kier Starmer sat there smiling throughout the meeting and promised nothing.

At some point, the colonel who had the honor of conducting the briefings got tired and explained to everyone in the room that Russia had only left its occupied areas in Europe, including half of Berlin, in the early 90s, which was around 35 years ago – so everyone in the room actually knew exactly what it looked like and what Russia wanted to restore, even though everyone pretended as if the wheel had just been invented.

Then he boldly stated a few intense summer months in 1940 where Poland had a tank model better than the German ones, and the French had more of everything and better tanks, but where the Allies lost 2 million men in a few months in 1940 after letting Poland fend for itself the year before.

“Who wants to invade Russia” – only Finland and Poland raised their hands.

“Who wants to invade Russia before they become too strong so that they will definitely invade us – a war that eliminates the risk of further war” – now everyone raised their hands, partly because the Finnish delegation looked angrily at those who seemed to hesitate with raising their hands.

Now the colonel felt like he was getting somewhere and went on a rant, “who wants to level Moscow to the ground” he shouted – now only the French raised their hands, and when they realized their mistake, they embarrassed themselves even more by getting entangled in Napoleon.

The colonel generously saved them by confirming that Russia had actually invaded Paris many years ago, so they were not wrong in essence.

Now the Swedes couldn’t hold back any longer “we have been in constant war with Russia for over 300 years, as soon as they get the chance, they jump on us,” they shouted, red-faced.

“Good, then let’s draw up the battle plans,” said the colonel, and the meeting ended for the day.

“the war to end all wars” was the name given to the report because the colonel had slept through history lessons, but the goal of the operation was clear.

-Straighten the border with Russia as far as possible to give Europe the best possible ability to protect the eastern border in the event of a new war.

When the Dutch asked how there could be a new war now that they had agreed to a “war to end all wars,” the colonel refused to answer citing confidentiality.

-Pushing Russia over the border to create internal power struggles is key, and the hope is that Russia will break up into ten new countries, making any future threat much more manageable.

Spain raised their hand and asked, “but then nuclear weapons will be in the hands of all sorts of criminal clans who will use them against Europe.”

“Like North Korea and Iran, you mean?” asked the colonel, and didn’t take any more questions from the Spaniards, who were also tired because it was their siesta time.

-The third most important point is that Ukraine is given the mandate, with Mossad’s help, to develop GUR and SBU to become a covert policing function where they will decapitate future hydras if they emerge, and Europe has approved everything on a signed paper.

Portugal asked anxiously, “decapitate, is that figurative or literal?” – The colonel did not respond.

In exchange for this lifelong commitment, Europe promises that Ukraine will be allowed to join the EU and have free trade with the six oblasts surrounding their country, and their products will be sold on the European market with Ukraine as an intermediary.

Now Portugal has convinced Italy that they are worried about the decapitation issue, but the colonel has had enough of silly questions and says it’s four o’clock, the meeting will continue tomorrow.

The battle plan is simple, as simple is always best –

Europe must take action within a year, at the time when Russia is weakest, most vulnerable, and least expecting anything, which is the Russian New Year.

The colonel didn’t come up with this himself, it was the Swedes who, during a pub crawl, revealed what the Russian battle plan for the northern flank was for the Soviet, and that it would either be Christmas Day or Midsummer Day – the colonel had indeed slept through history lessons and decided on the Russian New Year’s Day when not a Russian is sober.

There are also advantages the colonel hadn’t thought of yet – Europe has full capability for night combat, and the Russian counterparts have now run out of light and batteries after three years in Ukraine.

“What are the risks?” the Belgians asked anxiously – “that China will join the war,” the colonel replied, so we take a page from Putin’s playbook.

Keep it hidden as long as possible, deny for a week, and then promise to stay and have only reclaimed historical territories. And dangle peace in our time and that we will start buying solar panels and electric cars from China again.

Norway, Denmark, and Sweden pool together everything they have, which isn’t much, but with decent home defense – six full brigades, three of which are purely infantry.

In addition, all hunters and special forces units infiltrate deeply into the functions they are intended for.

The attack plan is to move east from northern Finland and Kirkenes, occupy the Kola Peninsula, and then attack southward in breadth, with the primary target being the Kola Peninsula.

Finland, who had already prepared an attack plan before being asked, inquired about when they could attack to reclaim what rightfully belonged to them. The colonel glanced through the proposal and asked if their border really extended all the way to the Arctic Ocean in 1920 but was drowned in so many Finnish curses that he immediately gave up.

Finland promised eight full brigades and a large number of home defense units formed into battalions – all in red.

The battle plan is simple – fortify the Karelian Isthmus and take all the terrain north of the Svir River that runs between Ladoga – Onega, and then establish a border northeast through suitable easily defensible terrain.

The colonel asked if a frozen lake is easy to advance over, to which the Finnish general (they sent their twelve-taggers to this meeting) replied “drones.”

All terrain north of the Finnish lightning offensive and the Scandinavians’ equivalent is to be conquered within a reasonable time as objective B of the attack.

Post-war, Murmansk becomes a divided port for all of Scandinavia, and defense is also the responsibility of all of Scandinavia but led by Finland.

The Baltic Sea Fleet is dealt a single heavy blow by the combined Scandinavian heavy attack in the best Cold War style – hard, violent, and very daring.

Hundreds of attack aircraft with attached missiles skim the water surface, making the attack on Pearl Harbor appear as a major failure in comparison.

The Russian Northern Fleet is to receive the same treatment, and the submarines and surface vessels attempting to flee are to be sunk by a screen of Europe’s submarines waiting outside the Russian zone.

The Baltic states and Finland have all pooled qualified air defense from Europe in case of tactical nuclear weapons already in the fall, one at a time.

The colonel has taken a page from the Ukraine war, and his feedback to US contacts is that Europe is satisfied if Ukraine regains its territory, which is immediately leaked to Putin by Trump five minutes later, “if it worked in Kursk, it will work again,” thought the colonel.

The Balts are not interested in more land, so their task is to lay low but immediately after the start of the war, fortify their land border with Russia according to all the rules of the art with a mile-deep minefield.

It falls to Poland’s lot to neutralize Kaliningrad, and in return, Germany renounces all claims to it and offsets it against that war reparations they never pay to Poland anyway. The enclave is completely overrun in three days – the Poles were surprisingly angry.

Belarus takes care of Ukraine, and the country is expected to fall within a week – the Belarusian opposition is promised full EU membership within five years, which 9,999,997 Belarusians want, and the other three are Lukashenko and his two sons.

Ukraine’s task is to lock in as many large Russian forces as possible in Ukraine before the attack.

Japan promises to deploy its entire fleet and all landing craft just outside Russia’s territorial waters, starting the day after the active defense begins.

The colonel is quite pleased with the turnout, although he felt it was a mistake to give the Finnish general his WhatsApp as the phone never stops blinking with one proposal more violent than the other.

The likelihood of achieving all the objectives of the operation is considered high, and clearance is given in September 2025 for all co-conspirators to begin implementing covert preparations.

The plan is to go public after Zapad 25 and discuss the Russian threat and the need for more counter-exercises in Europe during the fall to be able to shift capabilities covertly.

The colonel changes the operation’s name from “the war to end all wars” to a world-famous blogger’s suggestion, “Omfall B – active defense against Russia.”

    Finally, a progressive plan to give Russia a proper kick in the groin that they will feel for decades to come! 👍👍👍

      “For the first time, Ukraine confirms that Russian ground forces have entered the Dnipropetrovsk region. During the summer, Russia has several times claimed to have successfully broken through the Ukrainian defense in the area.

      ‘They have penetrated and battles are raging,’ says Viktor Tregubov, who is a spokesperson for the Ukrainian forces in Dnipropetrovsk.

      According to the Ukrainian site Deepstate, which maps the front line, Russia has taken control of the two towns Zaporizke and Novogeorgiivka.”

      “Russia is investing in the Belarusian military-industrial complex to produce the weapons that have proved effective in the war against Ukraine.

      Launching large-scale military operations before these production facilities reach full capacity, while also being unable to protect them from retaliatory strikes, is “impractical” for Russian President Vladimir Putin, Zhyhar said.

      Belarusian industrial enterprises and over 200 commercial structures are set to reach full capacity by 2027-2028, producing around 300,000 152 mm artillery shells, 450,000 122 mm rockets for Grad multiple launch rocket systems, up to 1,000 strike and reconnaissance UAVs, approximately 1,000,000 rounds of small-arms ammunition, and 30-50 electronic warfare systems, according to Zhyhar.”

      ❗️But:

      Rather than an all-out attack, Belpol foresees a limited provocation in the mid-term.

      Russia might attempt to capture some territory in a NATO member-state to see if it triggers Article 5 or if the United States and other major NATO countries refrain from intervening — a lot will depend on their reaction.

      What does “mid-term” imply with respect to Zapad25?

      1. 205

        “Belarusian industrial enterprises and over 200 commercial structures”

        Is Ukraine refraining from attacking targets in Belarus? If so, why? 

        1. jahojariaho

          Nah, it’s not necessary. Full of partisans. They will strike. Do YOU remember the drone attack on the radar surveillance aircraft A-50 in Belarus?

    It would have been interesting if a thorough investigation had been carried out in all European countries to get a comprehensive picture of the level of support.

    “Plans for soldiers from other European countries to be sent to Ukraine after a peace agreement is in place are encountering resistance among voters in certain parts of Europe, reports the Wall Street Journal.

    The USA seems willing to support a European force that will deter future Russian aggression after the war, but domestically the plan is facing popular resistance. Eastern European countries do not want to move soldiers from their own borders, and in countries like Germany, Poland, and Italy, memories of the Second World War are still fresh.

    Especially in Germany, skeptical voices have been raised, the newspaper writes. According to a recent survey, 56 percent of Germans are against contributing soldiers – an increase since last spring.”

      Now that is one of the points I usually bring up – the will.

      Because things like this should also be voted on in parliaments.

      And Russia hasn’t even started its influence operations yet.

    Trump – Denmark – Greenland

    “Anyone who believes that Donald Trump has abandoned his plans to take over Greenland must now think again. This is stated by Ash Rostrup in a quick analysis on Danish TV2 after a investigation by Danmarks Radio revealed that three men connected to Trump are trying to infiltrate the island.

    From a Danish perspective, this is ”completely unacceptable”, which becomes clear when the Danish Minister of Foreign Affairs immediately summons the top US diplomat, Rostrup continues.

    ”Such conversations are normally reserved for representatives of rogue states.”

    In Danmarks Radio, the investigative journalist Niels Fastrup, who together with Lisbeth Quass has exposed the scheme, says that criminal measures could be taken against the American men. Trying to break up Denmark in that way could, for example, constitute treason.”

      “The Danish Minister of Foreign Affairs, Lars Løkke Rasmussen, summons the US chargé d’affaires Mark Stroh. The meeting takes place following ‘unacceptable’ reports on Denmark’s Radio about Trump-connected men attempting to infiltrate and influence the Greenlandic people to turn their backs on Denmark.

      ‘All attempts to interfere in the kingdom’s internal affairs are of course unacceptable,’ says Løkke Rasmussen in a statement to Danish TV2.

      Mark Stroh is the highest-ranking US diplomat in Denmark while awaiting the arrival of the new ambassador.”

      “At least three Americans with close ties to US President Donald Trump are trying to infiltrate Greenland and carry out secret influence operations on the island, according to eight Greenlandic and American sources for Denmark’s Radio.

      The main goal is said to be to weaken Greenland’s relationship with Denmark in order to get the Greenlanders to submit to the USA.

      – We are all concerned about this, says a source to DR.

      The men are said to have tried to build a network of contacts with Greenlandic politicians, businessmen, and citizens during several visits to the island. One of the men is said to have listed all Greenlanders who support Trump’s plans to take over Greenland. It is not established whether the men are working on their own initiative or receiving direct orders from the American leadership.”

    Israel

    “Hundreds of thousands of people demonstrated across Israel on Tuesday, Israeli media report. The demonstrators demanded an immediate ceasefire and the release of Israeli hostages in Gaza.

    The largest protests were in Tel Aviv. Among other things, highways were blocked and people protested outside Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office while the security cabinet met. Finally, people gathered at Tel Aviv Museum Plaza, also known as Hostage Square. According to the organizers, 350,000 people participated, writes the Times of Israel.

    – We have been waiting for almost two years, it’s as if Netanyahu is doing it intentionally, said Ofir Braslavski, father of hostage Rom Braslavski, to the crowd.”

    Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has called the attack a tragic mistake, and the military has promised an investigation. Investigations into war crimes in Gaza are almost always dropped or inconclusive, according to a report published last week.

    – We have not yet seen any results or anyone taking responsibility. We want someone to be held accountable, says Thameen al-Kheetan.

    Ukrainian soldier survives after 5 days crawling with throat cut by Russian troops. Thirty-three-year-old National Guard soldier Vladyslav survived after Russian forces slit his throat and threw him into a pit, believing he was dead, Suspilne reported on Aug. 25. He managed to climb out and spent five days crawling back to Ukrainian-controlled territory. https://kyivindependent.com/ukrainian-soldier-survives-after-5-days-crawling-with-russian-cut-throat/

      Guillou and his entourage should be deported before they can report to RU.
      For now, we are not allowed to use lampposts for anything other than illuminating streets, as far as I understand?

      1. 205

        No, I don’t think Guillou receives Johan’s Omfall B with particularly great enthusiasm. Rather, with a not insignificant amount of indignation.

        However, as an author, Jan Guillou, like the author Anders Jallai, can surely be impressed by the language in Johan’s text, which is first-rate.

      2. T23

        I don’t have much patience for Guillou (you have to search far and wide for such a self-righteous poseur), but the reference to lamp posts is just distasteful. Normalizing such language is never okay, regardless of political affiliation.

        1. MacMelmac

          Shouldn’t we wish that Putin becomes a piñata at the nearest gas station instead? No, we can always cuddle with traitors so they don’t get offended.

          Guillou is an old KGB informant and those stripes never go away! He is a traitor to the country and a security risk.

          At least the dirt can be deported!

          1. T23

            It’s not about “coddling traitors so they don’t get offended.” It’s about not normalizing extrajudicial execution of non-combatants. It only lowers the threshold for some idiot to commit violence, and ultimately something similar to Kristallnacht against dissenters.

    🥔📉 Belarussian economy is slowing down amid problems in the russian economy, – Foreign Intelligence Service

    In January–July 2025, the country’s GDP grew by only 1.3 % year-on-year, against the planned 4.1 %. The main export-oriented sectors – industry, transport, and IT – showed virtually no growth, indicating weak external demand and limited production capacity.

    Agriculture is also lagging behind: as of August 1, only 22.3 % of grain crops had been harvested, compared to almost 60 % last year.

    The foreign trade balance is deteriorating: in June, the deficit increased by $240 million on a monthly basis due to a decline in exports, particularly of potash.

    Despite this, the country’s ministry of economy plans to focus on exports, forecasting their growth by 3.7 % next year.

    However, in the first half of the year, deliveries already declined by the same 3.7 %. Competition in the russian market is intensifying even for local producers, while belarusian companies are losing their last niches in distant markets.

    Inflationary pressure is also intensifying: in July, annual inflation was 7.4 %, in August it is expected to be 7.5 %, and in the autumn – 8–9 % against the planned level of 5 %.

    Today’s Ostrobothnian Gregg reports!
    27.08.2025 update. First, I will talk a little about the “great” hysteria prevailing among the public regarding the battles at Dnipropetrovsk.
    Ryzzen has long been active along a large part of the border between Dnipropetrovsk and Donbas, from the village of Dachne to Temyrivka. They almost exclusively attack with infantry and use very little heavy equipment. Instead, the soldiers are supported by drones and artillery. They often use a tactic called “flag waving” – quick, small attacks to create anxiety and win propaganda victories. An example is the area around the village of Andriyivka-Klevtsove (formerly Iskra).
    When we talk about the enemy being “active for a long time,” it means that the battles are not only taking place along the border, but also inside the territory of the Dnipropetrovsk region. For several weeks, fierce battles have been raging around Maliivka. There, the enemy has tried to penetrate deep towards Voronoje, but has been stopped by the Ukrainian 225th Special Operations Division. Recently, the ryzzen have also entered two more villages, where they are trying to establish a foothold and gather infantry for new attacks. So far, nothing catastrophic has happened, even though some became worried when it was first reported about Russian advances in the region.
    The ryzzen are also pressing from Zeleny Pole and Temyrivka towards Zaporizhzhia and Novogeorgievka. Some initially thought it was an offensive against Huliaipole, but that is not the case. Instead, they are trying to encircle the villages of Komyshuvakha and Maliivka – without succeeding in taking them.
    Our forces are doing everything to slow down the enemy’s advance, stabilize the situation, and prevent them from advancing further into the country. The problem is that the enemy currently seems to believe in their own chances of success and is sending “endless” infantry forward. The situation is being closely monitored, and our forces are ready to react to any changes.
    As mentioned, the ryzzen use light infantry forces and advance in small groups, mostly on foot. We should then consider two things, it progresses very slowly despite the fact that it is open wasteland with a small village here and there. The second thing is that with these forces, the ryzzen have no chance of taking any larger town. They simply nibble at the edges.
    The battle for Donbas is taking place in Pokrovsk/Myrnohrad. The ryzka generals are trying to open up new fronts where we must send reinforcements, and Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporizhzhia are the two fronts they are trying with.
    In Pokrovsk/Myrnohrad, it looks like the ryzzen have given up their efforts for now and instead shifted focus and troops to Dyliivka in an attempt to launch a frontal attack towards Kostiantynivka. Most likely, they want to conquer the wind breaks that stretch from Oleksandro to the city limits of Kostiantynivka. The ryzzen’s constant shifting of priority attack targets is taking a toll on the forces they send back and forth like a yo-yo. At the same time, we must be alert and have good communication between our units in the area.
    Sweden first in the EU with new support for Ukraine
    The Swedish government has reached an agreement with the EU to provide 750 million Swedish kronor (approximately 66 million euros) to the Ukrainian state treasury. The money goes through the EU’s special support program, the Ukraine Facility.
    The purpose is to strengthen Ukraine’s economy so that the country can continue to pay salaries, pensions, and maintain healthcare, schools, and social support.
    The Ukraine Facility is an EU program that helps Ukraine recover, modernize, and stabilize its economy. To receive the money, Ukraine must implement certain reforms agreed upon by the EU and Ukraine.
    The unique aspect is that Sweden is the first EU country to provide extra funds beyond previous agreements within this program.
    Despite the war, political groups are planning for the post-war period. The Guardian has an article that caught my attention. Zaluzjnyj declined Jermak and did not join Zelenskiy’s team, but promised not to criticize the president, — The Guardian
    The British newspaper The Guardian wrote that the head of the presidential office, Andriy Jermak, came to London to meet with the former commander-in-chief of Ukraine’s armed forces and current Ukrainian ambassador to the UK, Valery Zaluzjnyj, and offered him to join President Volodymyr Zelenskiy’s team in the upcoming post-war election, but Zaluzjnyi declined.
    At the same time, according to the newspaper’s sources, he promised Jermak that he would not publicly criticize Zelenskiy’s team while the war is ongoing, and also assured that he would not give the president any unpleasant surprises.
    “If I decide that I want to enter politics, you will hear it from me first, privately,”
    If this article is true, then the talk that Zelensky would abandon his political ambitions after the war is not true.

    And a little about the Finnish attack, with Lieutenant Ståhl in the lead!

    Taste these words from the Soldier Boy, who looks forward to the same short warrior life as his ancestors:

    …a glorious life they have lived, a glorious death they have received.
    Oh, who wants to stumble slow and heavy?
    No, go to the field all warm and young
    And die for honor, country, and king.
    Or why not the march of the Björneborg Regiment:
    Only the brave can fall,
    Not flinch in the face of danger, not betray, bend, and be oppressed.
    Fall, beautiful warrior’s lot,
    be ours, then for a victory we shall strive.

    Hello David, saw your message from yesterday – thanks for the kind words and the burger 👍😀

    I believe Ukraine has some they trust, and that others trust those who are in contact with Ukraine to do the right thing. The group is also small in number.

    Ukraine has learned the hard way to keep quiet but they probably need to get some European countries on board, Finland is a given.

    They have probably indeed filtered information exchange with the Baltics and the Poles – but are very aware that it leaks like a sieve.

    Who else?

    1. David

      Thank you for the reply Johan!

      Isn’t it impressive that some things don’t leak? …when most things leak like a sieve everywhere?

      Absolutely fantastic post today otherwise! You shine and surpass yourself! Do you feel a lot of pressure/anxiety when writing new posts, when I/the readers hope/expect/want the highest quality in each post? Or does the text come easily/naturally when you start typing? 😀

    “Ukraine is exploring how they can offer the enormous amounts of data collected during the war in exchange for support from allies. That’s according to Minister of Digitalization Mykhailo Fedorov, speaking to Reuters.

    – The data we have is invaluable to any country […] It’s one of the cards we have in hand, so to speak, to build mutually beneficial relationships.

    Large amounts of data are needed to train AI tools, and the war data Ukraine possesses is very useful for the global defense sector. Currently, the country is however being “very cautious” about sharing it.”

    “Russia is recruiting young women from South Africa to build drones in factories in the semi-autonomous republic of Tatarstan. This is shown in a report by the Ukrainian authority against disinformation according to Kyiv Post.

    An advertising campaign in Asia and Africa, promising high salaries and career opportunities, has become so popular that the South African government has issued information about the dangers of ending up in Russian drone factories.

    The recruitment is done with the help of the international cooperation organization Brics, which includes, among others, Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa.

    ‘In other words, the Kremlin is using an international organization – which they constantly try to promote as a tool for economic growth and peaceful cooperation – for their military goals,’ the report states.”

    “The American influence attempts in Greenland are serious, but not surprising. That’s according to Jacob Kaarsbo, a security policy analyst and former operative at the Danish police intelligence service PET, speaking to Dagbladet.

    – The USA under Trump behaves like a bully state, even though we are formally allies. He goes against NATO’s statutes, doesn’t recognize borders or states’ sovereignty, and stoops to Vladimir Putin’s level.

    Several of Trump’s wealthy donors are pressuring the president to establish tech operations in Greenland – among them, the future ambassador Ken Howery is a supporter of this idea, according to Kaarsbo.”

    “🇨🇳❗️🇺🇦 Information on the administrative division of Ukraine “disappeared” from the Chinese Foreign Ministry website. The media drew attention to the fact that the administrative division into 24 regions and Autonomous Republic of Crimea disappeared from the “Brief Overview of Ukraine” section.

    According to experts, this may indicate a significant change in the position of Beijing, which previously declared full support for the territorial integrity of Ukraine”

    “The EU is considering introducing so-called secondary sanctions against countries that help Russia circumvent the union’s sanctions, according to sources cited by Bloomberg.

    This would be done through a mechanism that was introduced in 2023 but has not been used yet, and which allows for halting the export of certain goods to third countries deemed to be aiding Russia in circumventing the sanctions.

    The EU has previously been reluctant to impose secondary sanctions, but with the 19th sanctions package expected within a few weeks, the union has reached a turning point regarding direct sanctions against Russia, according to the sources.

    The new package is expected to primarily target Russian kidnappers of Ukrainian children.”

      Reached the end of the road? The simplest sanction would be to stop buying oil and gas? For example, Belgium, the EU’s stronghold, could stop buying Russian LNG.

    I think European leaders find it too bold to invade Russia, but it may come to the point where raids are made into Russia, similar to what the USA recently did in Iran. But it needs to be wrapped up. Perhaps one could use, for example, a Russian Shahed who finds his way into Romania as a pretext to bomb some launch pads, and then secretly bomb a little more than officially admitted.

    BTW, Europe stepping up a bit – how does it affect the likelihood of Putin testing NATO during Zapad? Because that would be the ultimate explanation to the voters why there is a need for some preemptive warfare.

    “The occupiers thought that they had “disguised” the ammunition depot well, but something went wrong. Because the Ukrainian military found it and eliminated it in a flash.”
