    I warned ⚠️ yesterday about an escalating Russian offensive. Today’s series of attacks confirms this with a rising number of attacks compared to the peak that started the offensive the day before yesterday (day before yesterday/vorgestern). A strong Russian pressure with a particularly sharp increase in Sloviansk and Pokrovsk, which also causes the ratio of Ukrainian/Russian attacks to drop, even though the actual number of unlocalized Ukrainian attacks is largely unchanged compared to yesterday.

        What is good about the escalating Ryzk offensive? Better lottery numbers? Faster flat tire? Or is it the unlocalized that Ukraine has managed to maintain despite the pressure?

          Let me guess… Once Trump has found his long-awaited exit from his hummos street debacle. He will go all in on trying to get Ukraine to give up Donbas to save the ass of his beloved Vladimir.

    It’s fun to work in the Caribbean right now with the flight problems… you never know how the next trip will go.

    If they go after Cuba, there will probably be a total flight stop as well, Venezuela was farther away.

      Are you out and about that often? I thought you more or less lived in the Caribbean, with schooling and all. Then I understand the feeling of being trapped when you can’t fly whenever you want, but in reality, it’s probably not a practical problem?

      1. Proxima

        Islands are approached by boat. Otherwise, it’s cheating. This also applies to trips from there.
        Did Captain Kidd, Morgan, Blackbeard, Drake, etc., travel with KLM or Ryanair?
        No, not even Povel and the Knäppupp gang flew. Povel and the gang took the banana boat to Panama. Lucky, otherwise we wouldn’t have gotten to listen to “Must the road to Curaçao sway so.” I knew some who were there that time. With Povel and Martin Ljung in top form. It must have been a very fun trip and many funny stories afterward. Povel was a bit reserved but very nice in private.

        Just trying to earn some brownie points with the old man. 🙂

        Of course, I hope you come back, I saw it more as a convenience issue, but right now you’re probably in Europe, so you definitely need to come back.

    You have probably already seen it, but if you missed it yesterday, the ceasefire between the USA and Iran has been extended, this time for an unlimited period.

    “Donald Trump extends the ceasefire with Iran until further notice, he writes on Truth Social. The US blockade of Iranian ports also continues.

    “The ceasefire is extended at the request of the mediator country Pakistan, writes Trump. Iran’s government is so divided that they have not been able to agree on a peace agreement proposal, according to the president.

    “Therefore, I have instructed our military to continue the blockade and be prepared in all respects, and therefore extend the ceasefire until they (Iran, editor’s note) submit their proposal and the discussions are concluded one way or another.”

    At present, no new peace talks have been officially confirmed.”

      “A container ship has been fired upon by Iran’s Revolutionary Guard in the sea northeast of Oman, near the Strait of Hormuz. This is reported by Reuters, referring to the British maritime traffic monitor UKMTO.

      The ship’s bridge is said to have sustained extensive damage. However, no one is reported to be injured.

      Iran has stated that the country will keep the strait closed as long as the US does not lift its blockade of Iran’s ports.”

      An extended ceasefire is perhaps the smartest option, but of course it depends on how far Iran is willing to go. Sooner or later their economy will collapse.

      It’s unfortunate for the part of the population that does not support the regime, and at the same time it is not good for the global economy either, but it prevents people from being killed on both sides.

      “The war has caused a massive wave of layoffs in Iran, reports the BBC.

      Over two million people have lost their jobs due to the ongoing conflict with the USA and Israel, according to the country’s deputy labor minister Gholamhossein Mohammadi.

      “You can see it in how empty the subway is,” writes an Iranian on X.

      It is not only factories that have been forced to close after being hit by airstrikes. The war affects manufacturing, trade, export, import, and not least the digital sector. The internet shutdown is estimated to have cost the Iranian economy the equivalent of 16 billion kronor so far.

      Household consumption has also decreased. Many only spend money on the absolute necessities, which has affected, among other things, the tourism and restaurant industries.”

      “As long as the USA maintains the blockade of Iranian ports, the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed. This is written by the Iranian news agency Tasnim, which has connections to the Revolutionary Guard, according to Reuters.

      “If necessary, Iran will break the blockade militarily,” the news agency adds.

      Trump’s extended ceasefire means nothing because “the losing side cannot dictate the terms,” writes an advisor to Iran’s speaker and negotiator Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf on X.

      “Maintaining the blockade is equivalent to a bombing and must be met with a military response,” he adds.

      The ceasefire is a way for the USA to buy time ahead of a surprise attack, the advisor believes, adding that Iran now “must take the initiative”.”

    🤣🤣🤣 ceasefire and blocked Hormuz.

    There is a rumor that the IRGC has taken over and that the group Trump/USA negotiated with is under house arrest.

    Not unreasonable.

  12. johan No.1

    What does a ceasefire do?

    Iran can bring in more militias from surrounding countries, making regime change increasingly difficult.

    They can repair launch ramps and relocate weapons from storage and prepare them.

    A ceasefire is BAD, and Israel has started saying so because they are the big losers here.

    The US seems to be preparing a ground invasion in some form, but if they don’t.

    Is this –

    -incompetence

    -part of a plan to tie up the US in ways that China likes? Meaning that part of the US administration is playing both sides?

    -part of a plan to create an energy crisis?

    -all three.

    An endless war in Iran would give dictatorial advantages to many countries.

    The EU can start with lots of bans now, rationing, and social control if they want. The situation will soon be as precarious as during COVID, and then individual freedom was thrown out the window entirely for no good reason. Tegnell resisted in Sweden, but many countries became directly authoritarian.

      Not to mention that this extreme back and forth allows those with inside info to make big money 💰. I imagine that those on the losing end will eventually have had enough and started demanding accountability for corruption.

      2. fedtmule

        Yes, you. What can one learn from that? BUY SOUTH KOREAN AND JAPANESE….AND KEEP BUYING EUROPEAN AND FOR GOD’S SAKE..NEVER VOTE FOR THE GREEN PARTY!!!

    2. fedtmule

      Ah, nothing to get worked up about. Just the mullahs’ way of spicing things up a bit.
      Kind of like when motorized youth have so-called street races.

    Don’t forget one thing – the elite also profit in this environment, it’s only us who lose.

    Lex Zimbabwe with its fourteen families living like gods.

      Thinking of a quote, can’t remember who said it.

      Aid is an excellent way to redistribute money from the poor in rich countries to the rich in poor countries.

  18. johan No.1

    Well, had to cancel and rebook the flight again and cover all the expenses myself, but with a bit of luck, we’ll be back with posts next week.

      Since covid, my flying has been like a bad day at the dentist.

      I used to think it was fun, nowadays I reserve a huge amount for rebookings, new flights, and death, on top of that we always take a hotel night in the middle so the baggage has time to catch up, and if the long stop is under 1.5 hours, the baggage usually doesn’t make it.

      Flew to Lagos with Lufthansa and hadn’t packed a change of clothes in the hand luggage, it took three days before the bag arrived.

      Since we always have to go to the farthest places in the world with 2-3 flights that often don’t connect well, it’s a real puzzle, better now when so many are connected in and of themselves.

      The first trip to the Caribbean was three flights with a short stopover in New York, the panic when you realized that the queues were longer than the stop, and the guards stopped us from jumping the queue…

      Just got a full refund from Iberia, it will arrive in two weeks.

        1. johan No.1

          Stretched it a bit too far once with two nights at a spa hotel in Lisbon but they only complained when they paid the expense, fortunately.

    Volodymyr Zelenskyy welcomes that the EU member states have given the green light for a billion-euro loan to Ukraine. In a post on X, the president writes that the approval is a “right signal under the current circumstances.”

    “Russia must end the war. And the incentives for that can only arise when both the support for Ukraine and the pressure on Russia are sufficient.”

    The EU loan to Ukraine has been blocked by Hungary since February. But on Wednesday, outgoing Prime Minister Viktor Orbán lifted his veto after Ukraine repaired the war-damaged Druzbja oil pipeline that transports Russian oil to Hungary.

    In addition to the billion-euro loan, the EU also approved a 20th sanctions package against Russia.

          Ah, I have a bit of difficulty trying to steal visitors. I usually add a link here when I have posted some more extended statistics or similar. 

          He has done a lot for Ukraine through his blog and I respect that.

          1. Umlaut

            Yes, I fully understand that and hats off to you. I just think you deserve so much credit that at least those who read daily there should be aware that there is another daily updated blog. Then you can read both 🙋🏽‍♂️, or just one depending on preference and taste.

      He is absolutely right when it comes to wind power as such, without it in our mix we would have significantly more expensive electricity.

      But I am a bit surprised, I have otherwise seen him as a strong advocate of nuclear power.

      He found a Russian angle on it (and honestly, there is quite a bit to that) but otherwise that would have fit much better in the economic threads.

      Now he managed to upset many again and get the Ukraine threads to be about wind power instead.

      Here we have few visitors and commentators, otherwise one would have more topic threads even here.
      So when it comes to politics, climate, etc., it can be kept in its own thread so you can avoid reading it if you don’t want to.

       

      1. Umlaut

        It is possible to find a Russian angle on most energy sources, possibly with the exception of hydropower (wild guess). The Russians want to divide and rule, and I believe they succeeded quite well among us Swedish desk warriors on Ukraine’s side today.

      1. Umlaut

        If anyone utters a critical word about wind power, they are a Putinist from now on, but of course not the blogger themselves who has written blog posts during the war years about how bad wind power is.

        1. fedtmule

          Oh dear. Yes, Wilderäng is always just as sure about something until he just as surely claims the opposite opinion, and just as surely he scolds everyone who dares to have an opposing view…..

    “Iran will not send a delegation to Pakistan for continued peace talks until the US has lifted its blockade on Iranian ports. This is stated by the head of the Iranian delegation Mojtaba Ferdousi Pour to AP.

    – We do not negotiate under threat.

    Ferdousi Pour accuses the US of using the ceasefire to build up its military capabilities for new attacks against Iran.

    – Behind the scenes they say one thing, but officially they say and do something else.”

      Win³. Greece does not buy American, Greece buys European at a discounted price, France gets to sell planes. 

      It’s just unfortunate that Gripen falls even further behind if this deal goes through. The French may have read The Art of the Deal.

    Had to check and there was a full fight, if you don’t like wind power you are pro-Russian.

    Then you probably can’t vote for the Tidö Alliance either because they are pro-Russian.

    The corridor is getting narrower and narrower, you don’t have to drag anyone over here MXT agrees but for those who would like to of their own free will – do they know we exist?

    Can we buy advertising on other blogs?

    1. fedtmule

      Haha… pro-Russian if you don’t like wind power.
      Fewer and fewer people like wind power as the last hopeful expectations of being able to get new investments in this effort to become profitable are as likely as Donald crawling into bed with Melania at night.

    I read both this and the other blog, but today things really went off the rails on the other blog because of the blogger themselves. Almost a bit of a Ben Dover vibe from the old days, those of you who read back then will recognize that nickname. If you put a comma in the wrong place, it seems like you get torn apart. It was almost a bit unsettling over there today. Nothing that encourages either reading further or commenting.

    1. DenGamle

      Agreed!
      We should learn from this, no domestic political bickering as long as all parliamentary parties support Ukraine.
      Let us unite in monitoring Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine. Of course, it becomes off-topic, but harmless, nothing that creates conflicts.
      LW is neglecting his blog, it is getting worse and worse, unfortunately.
      It is a platform for his own domestic political opinions.
      We must not fall into that trap here.
      Then Flashback is better.

      3. fedtmule

        Yes. As I said, it is really unfortunate that Wilderäng has allowed his blog to take that direction, as it has been and still is an important forum for Ukraine and the fight against Russian barbarism.

        I wonder what has caused him to increasingly succumb to destructive behavior, and worse, it seems to only escalate.
